Q39 / 159 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · d and f Block Elements

In context with the transition elements, which of the following statement is incorrect?

  • Correct answer
    A
    In the highest oxidation states, the transition metals show basic character and form cationic complexes.
  • B
    In the highest oxidation states of the first five transition element [Sc to Mn], all the 4s and 3d electrons are used for bonding.
  • C
    Once the d5 configuration is exceeded, the tendency to involve all the 3d electrons in bonding decreases.
  • D
    In addition to the normal oxidation states, the zero-oxidation state is also shown by these elements in complex.

Solution

As in higher Oxidation states transition elements show acidic nature for example V2O5,CrO3 . Rest of the other statements given here are correct features of these elements.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
